I had that exact problem with a statistic course on udacity. What I ended up doing was committing to spending a certain amount of time (about 2/hr/week) on that course, then made a beeminder goal to charge my credit card if I failed.

It worked in that I stuck with it, but the amount of time I spend on the original course didn't divide by two hours so I did also spend a little bit of time on another course.

/at this point I should clarify I am an unpaid shill for beeminder, not a paid one.
